Cause and Effect Examples  

(from Read-Write-Think by NCTE)

Personal Examples:

• The boy missed the bus because he overslept.

• As a result of the ice on the sidewalk, the girl fell.

• Since the man was speeding, he got a ticket.

• The girl didn’t do her homework.  Consequently, she had to miss recess.

• Janice got an A on her science test due to the fact that she studied very hard.

• It was raining, so the trip to the beach was cancelled.

• The food in the refrigerator spoiled because the electricity went out.

• Lightening hit the pine tree, which led to it falling and blocking the road.

• Susan didn’t read the recipe carefully, and thus her cookies did not turn out as she had expected.

Your Personal Examples –don’t forget to use a signal word or phrase!

1. Elyse forgot to water the plant, which lead to it dying.

2. Since Audrey read the instructions carefully, she got a A on her project.

Scientific and Political Examples – don’t forget to use a signal phrase!

• Many scientists believe that the extinction of the dinosaurs occurred as a result of a large meteorite hitting the Earth millions of years ago.

• Tsunamis are created when tectonic plates under the ocean shift, leading to an underwater earthquake.

• The Stamp Act enraged the colonists, which caused the Revolutionary War.

• John attached a copper wire to each terminal of a battery and then to a light bulb. Due to the fact that copper is a conductor, the light bulb went on.

• The wasteful energy use of many Americans has resulted in global warming.

• When water molecules come into contact with a heat source, they begin to move very quickly, causing the water to boil. 

• The Exxon Valdez oil spill dumped thousand of gallons of oil into the ocean, leading to devastating long-term effects on the seal population in Alaska.

Your Scientific and Political Examples –don’t forget to use a signal word or phrase!

1. Many people don't throw away their trash, which caused pollution.

5.3.13- Home

Today we went to the Rouge River. It was my first time, because I was sick on the day we went in the fall. I was in group #10 with Joseph, Brenden, and Azaria.
Our station order:
Benthic
Physical
Chemical
My favorite was the Benthic station because we got to go into the water with waders. The flow of the stream always felt like it was pulling you down, and when you went deeper in the water, your legs and feet were being squished by the pressure. It felt weird but cool haha.
